    "Food Chain" lyrics

Don't break the food chain, no, no, no...
Don't pollute in the food chain, no, no, no...
It's the food chain connecting living things you know
Helping plants, animals and people to grow... so
Don't break the food chain by polluting in the food chain.

Every living thing is part of the food chain and there are three main categories... let's go!

The Sun provides the energy for these to grow
They make their own food in case you didn't know
Growing in the ground making vegetables and fruits
Animals and people eat them, even their roots
I know what it is let me tell you, sir... It's a PRODUCER.

They depend on producers for their food
Eating healthy plants and other animals dude
You are one of these and so is your dad
So go eat an apple before it goes bad
I know what it is let me tell you, sir... It's a CONSUMER.

Dead animals and plants disappear in the ground
From microscopic organisms breaking them down
The nutrients from this decomposing matter
Is good for the soil making new plants happier
I know what it is let me tell you, sir... A DECOMPOSER.

Don't break the food chain, no, no, no...
Don't pollute in the food chain, no, no, no...
It's the food chain connecting living things you know
Helping plants, animals and people to grow... so
Don't break the food chain by polluting in the food chain.

Now, let's talk about the three different types of consumers.

What do you call consumers like a rabbit, a grasshopper or a deer that only eat plants and no meat at all...
I know what it is you don't need to tell me more... It's an HERBIVORE.

What do you call consumers like a lion, wolf or a seal that only eat animals, nothing that grows on trees...
I know what it is you don't need to tell me more. It's a CARNIVORE.

And what do you call consumers like bears, pigs and most people that eat plants and animals...
I know what it is you don't need to tell me more. It's an OMNIVORE.

Don't break the food chain, no, no, no...
Don't pollute in the food chain, no, no, no...
It's the food chain connecting living things you know
Helping plants, animals and people to grow... so
Don't break the food chain by polluting in the food chain.

A plant is eaten by a bug and that bug is eaten by a monkey
Just like when a rat is eaten by a snake and then that snake is eaten by an eagle

Or when grass is eaten by a cow and then the cow is eaten by a guy named Bob

(Uh, I'd stay away from that guy named Bob. I think he tried to eat the monkey too!)
